Description: Thirty-one of our U.S. presidents have been the fathers of girls, and most of them took time from their public lives to write moving letters to their growing daughters on a wide range of subjects. This correspondence often became a substitute for the intimacy of presence as the busy leaders traveled the globe fulfilling their demanding roles on the world's stage.
